The old lady's face turned dark, she was a little puzzled, Xiao Ting, what does this mean? Just take a promise in exchange for her true freedom
Will she stop taking care of the Xiao Manor's affairs in the future
No, how is this possible
"Girl Ting'er, what you said is off the mark. Although it is often said that a married girl throws water, no matter what you say, her surname is Xiao, and she is also a girl who has gone out of the Xiao family. Why do you want to separate yourself from the Xiao family?"
Xiao Ting was speechless, which ear did she hear that she wanted to separate herself from the Xiao family
"Grandma, I didn't want to say these words, but since you want to hear them, I won't hide them anymore."
"My aunt is a daughter of the Xiao family, and I am also a daughter of the Xiao family, and they are also daughters of the Xiao family."
Xiao Ting pointed to the girls of the Xiao family who were hiding behind the old lady, who dared not meet Xiao Ting's eyes.
"Auntie relied on her own ability to achieve the position of imperial concubine. I can be the Ninth Princess, and I must stand on it. It is also my own ability. Then why should they? You look back at them yourself. Even if you marry them into those wealthy families, will they be really happy? Can they really stand?"
The others were naturally a little annoyed when they heard the words, but Xiao Ting ignored them at all, and continued: "Besides, what were you doing when my aunt was thrown into the cold palace? Did you ever think about helping her? I know what you want to say. People who speak lightly can't help, but attitudes, not even a single attitude, wouldn't it be chilling."
"Now that grandma comes to see me, it means that my aunt doesn't want to see you at all. Don't you think about whether you have gone too far?"
Xiao Ting is really not angry for her aunt. These people, including her own mother and the old lady, all think about the Xiao family and what is going on with the Xiao family.
rather than someone.
Maybe this is the bearing that the headed mothers of big families should have, but she really doesn't agree.
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, and the old lady couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and was speechless for a while.
"In the final analysis, she is also the daughter of the Xiao family. The juniors live well, and she can be regarded as a backer. This is a win-win situation."
In the end, the old lady gave such a reason to convince herself.
Xiao Ting snorted lightly, and said: "It's really funny, okay, different ways don't conspire with each other, I will convey this matter for you, but I still hope that everyone is well and living their own lives is the best, why bother others?"
When Xiao Ya heard that Xiao Ting didn't intend to help them at all, she was just talking about it, she immediately got a little annoyed, stepped forward, stood in front of the old lady and said, "Fourth sister, are you going to completely sever ties with our Xiao family?"
"If the Xiao family didn't have a grandmother, they would have broken up a long time ago. Isn't it too much for you to talk to her like this and hurt her heart again and again? So what if you are the ninth princess, can you even disrespect the elders if you become a princess?"
Xiao Ting sneered, squinted at her with her eyes, and said, "Xiao Ya, what my concubine said just now, it seems that you didn't take it to heart at all, come and slap your mouth."
Following Xiao Ting's order, two guards flashed in immediately, one of them went up without saying a word, and just went up and slapped four big mouths.
The bodyguard's blow was so big that Xiao Ya was knocked out immediately, the corner of her mouth was crooked and still bleeding, the scene was very scary.
The others all scattered and ran far away, even the old lady was so startled that she almost rolled her eyelids and fainted.
"My concubine said just now that I really don't have a long memory to call my concubine or princess. Well, we can go to dinner."
After all, there is no one in the Xiao family who can make Xiao Ting care about or restrain her, so Xiao Ya and the others used the wrong method, thinking that Xiao Ting would look at the old lady's face and would not do anything to them.
Jiang is still old and hot, even though the trouble has come to this point, the old lady still did not forget the purpose of this trip, said: "Okay, if this matter is done, I will never set foot in the Ninth Prince's Mansion in this lifetime."
Old madam, this is a risk-taking decision, and making such a decision means that she will never have anything to do with Xiao Ting again.
But she doesn't care, because in her opinion, Xiao Ting has no ability, the main thing is her daughter who became a noble concubine.
Now Concubine Xiao Gui didn't see her at all, even if she bribed the relationship and let others pass on the message, the response she got was just to let her live well and live according to her duty.
The old lady understands what her daughter is thinking, but she is not willing to raise her daughter so much. She is from all over the family, and the first person to be a noble concubine. Now she doesn't even care about her niece's marriage. What kind of concubine is she
Xiao Ting really didn't want to have anything to do with any woman in the Xiao Mansion, so she nodded and agreed.
The old lady suddenly asked, "What about Xiao Xin? He is the youngest son of the Xiao family, you don't intend to let him live in the Ninth Prince's Mansion forever, do you?"
"Why not?" Xiao Ting curled her lips, "He lives here very well and is also very happy. He has playmates, and he doesn't lack food or clothing. What's wrong with him?"
"If grandma thinks that when Xiao Shi returns to that day, the only place where a bunch of women sit together and fight each other will be happy, then you can ask him if he would like to go back?"
The old lady's face darkened, and after a while, she finally agreed to this matter and discuss it later.
Xiao Xin is still young, and the days to come are still long!
These are her comforting words.
After sending off a group of women from the Xiao family, when they returned to Lanyue Courtyard, Xiao Xin was looking at her eagerly.
"The maidservant is going to kill again when she is a princess. I didn't expect to be so gentle this time?" Hong Shao covered her mouth and snickered, while Lu Huo patted her forehead beside her, and said, "There is no honor or humility. You are not allowed to make fun of the princess."
Xiao Ting didn't care either, she rubbed Xiao Xin's little head and said, "Does Xiao Shi feel like he's living here?"
Xiao Xin didn't expect her sister to ask this question suddenly, but he was just stunned for a moment, and then seriously replied, "Of course not, my sister treats me very well, and my brother-in-law, although he doesn't pay attention to me, but it's because of his acquiescence, everyone respects me as a little son, and Xiaoyun, she also let me study with her, everyone treats me very well, how can I say that I am living under the fence?"
"Well, from now on, we siblings can only live in this palace."
After Xiao Ting said this, she didn't say anything to Xiao Xin, but asked about the condition of Lvcao and Condensation.
The answer I got was that the condensation was still the same, neither looking for death nor life, like a machine, if you feed her, she will eat, if you let her drink, she will drink, without any thoughts of her own.
Hong Shao was straightforward, and asked Xiao Ting directly, why did she keep her cold
No matter how she saw that woman, she didn't like it, but now, she still acted as a half master and let them serve her.
And what's so good about that woman, isn't she doing a great job for the princess? But now, if you don't say a word all day, even if you know what you don't know, what's the use.
"It's boring!" Xiao Ting gave them such an answer, but anyone could tell that it was very perfunctory. No one would raise a useless person because of boredom.
Xiao Ting went to see Ning Ning, but no matter what she said, she couldn't get a response, just like the previous situation.
At the end of March, there was a news from the palace, to be precise, an imperial decree was issued, and the post-sealing ceremony was about to be held.
The newly promoted empress exceeded everyone's expectations, she turned out to be the emperor's niece, Prince Rui's wife, and the former princess of Jiyue.
This result shocked everyone, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
Let's not talk about the relationship between the emperor and the princess of the month, but she is just a princess. According to the procedure of the imperial concubine, she has never been a concubine, so she is not qualified to be a queen.
But discussion is discussion, and there are endless debates in the court. Some veterans risked their lives to remonstrate, but the emperor insisted on going his own way and didn't want to pay attention to it at all.
Ten days later, no matter how many people are reluctant to seal the Empress Dowager Ceremony, it will still be held with huge crowds of people, and it will be held as usual.
Soon, everyone discovered that not only the courtiers of the empire came, but also envoys from other four countries and ten places came in person, which was very grand.
This has to make people wonder, this matter has already been decided, otherwise how could the envoys from the other four countries and ten places come here at this time
Then someone realized that the death of the first queen was a bit suspicious.
When Xiao Ting got the news, she was also dumbfounded for a long time, and then ran to the Ninth Prince to ask about it, but she knew about it in advance.
In her opinion, although the emperor is not old, he is not young, and the princess of the moon is about the same as them. How could she marry an old man who is about the same age as her father.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince didn't know about it beforehand.
The two sat staring at each other for a long time, and finally Xiao Ting patted her buttocks, ready to leave.
The Ninth Prince suddenly asked, "Has the princess met Xie Jingtian?"
Xiao Ting didn't realize that there was something wrong with the Ninth Prince's question? She nodded silly.
"Yeah, oh, bringing this up, I want to ask you. I heard that Xie Jingtian's body was stolen. What happened? I asked Hong Shao and the others, but they all said they didn't know."
In the beginning, Jing Tian died in front of her to save Xiao Ting, but she didn't know what happened after she fell into a coma after beating someone to death with magic.
After waking up, Xiao Ting asked many people, but the answers she got were not satisfactory. Even Princess Zhaohua didn't know the details of the situation at that time.
Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "It wasn't stolen, to be precise, it was robbed."
"Snatched, who is so perverted, even want to snatch a corpse?"
Xiao Ting expressed her incomprehension, widened her eyes and waited for the Ninth Prince to say the following.
"The king has been investigating this matter, but the group of people is very strange, and their whereabouts are still unknown."
The Ninth Prince kept the subordinates busy for a long time, but no matter how many troops he dispatched, he couldn't find any trace of those people, and Xie Jingtian's body disappeared out of thin air.
At that time, after Xiao Ting passed out, the Ninth Prince ordered Xie Jingtian's body to be sent back to Xie's mansion, and was personally escorted by Xu Wei, but they were stopped before they had gone far.
